About Giovanna
I am genuinely a huge animal lover, none excluded!! I have been pet sitting all pets for almost 10 whole years now! My goal is to make your best friend, my best friend, or at least to be the fun aunt (and greg will be the fun uncle). The family doesn’t stop there, my parents, brother and friends will become family too, as they’re always around to help!
My boyfriend, greg, and I have been a student-athletes pretty much all our lives so we love working as a team! It also means that we love going on walks and then resting afterwards!
We also grew up with pets all of our lives! Greg has 3 huskies and a cat at home, and i’ve had cats, dogs, hamsters, turtles, mice, you name it!
I work remotely (tuesdays i’m in the office) and greg does too (except from february-july). So we are pretty much always to be there to look after and give your buddy lots of love!
My brother is also always there with us too, as you see him in most of my photos😂 (he says it’s to help but we’re pretty sure it’s just because he wants the extra cuddles and kisses🤷🏼♀️). My parents are also great help! When i started with rover, it was with them and they never stopped helping since! If ever i am fully booked or unavailable, my parents are options as well:)
Your pet will be showered with so much love!
I have professional experience with nearly all pets of all sizes! Dogs, cats, rodents, reptiles, amphibians and really just about any pet. I would like to offer as many services as I possibly can. I wash, brush, clean, play, pet and love your little friends and definitely give the utmost attention and care. I have been doing this for so many years now and I do it because I truly love it. I just want owners to have an easier time saying bye. It is all about trust and comfort and I want to ensure that is exactly how you feel!
More information is better than none, never hesitate to let me know your worries, text me or ask questions!
We will definitely be communicating and I love to send you photos (that i try to make aesthetic) and put your mind at ease! If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to ask!
i have been doing this for SO many years when i was a student and i am luckily able to continue as i work remotely! The only thing is i am in the office once a week, so still important your furry friend is fairly independent if staying for a longer period!
we live in a large apartment with a huge park 1 minute away! So your friend has plenty of space to explore and run around. I have experience with oral medication, senior dogs and puppies as well! I have pet sat every size, smalll to extra large, 2 months old to 15 years old!
My partner and i particularly love to go on walks in the evening and then watch a movie. We could use the extra cuddles your pet can provide us! We honestly taken them wherever we can! When we visit our families, friends, parks etc., so so let us know if the car isn’t your let’s favorite spot!
Anything that you believe i should know! Their habits, routines, preferences, quirks, dietary restrictions, vocality etc., No such thing as too much information!
The main questions i usually ask are as follows!
- Barking habits (i work remotely and take calls and what not)
- Cars! (we try to include them as much as possible so they don’t stay alone for too long)
- Other pet friendly? (we on average have 1-2 dogs a day so it’s important they get along/enjoy other dogs companies! and if they don't, i want to be sure they'll be the only one)
- Independent? (if they can’t spend decent amounts of time alone, in case of emergencies or schedule changes, would need to know just in case!)
- Dietary restrictions? (we have a lot of our own treats and what not, but will never give unless we know they can have!)
- Dog proofing! (How should we leave them when they’re alone? Should we hide shoes? lock the garbage? close bedroom and bathroom doors? any dog proofing you find necessary!)
